In this episode of The Sowell Legacy, Justice Clarence Thomas joins Peter Robinson for a wide-ranging conversation about the thinker who transformed his life. Justice Thomas recounts discovering Thomas Sowell's work as a young lawyer, the friendship that followed, and the lessons in self-reliance, honesty, and intellectual independence that shaped his own journey—from segregated Georgia to the US Supreme Court. Together, they explore race, education, constitutionalism, courage in public life, and why Sowell's ideas continue to resonate with rising generations.
